One Bourbon, One Squat, One Beer

1/4

Benchy/Chesty

Bench 531 C1/W1:
(w/u bar, 135)
195x5
225x5
250x12 rep PR

CGBP (1/2 foam): 135x10, 185x10, 225x10, 245x10, 280x6.5 (got 7th, but spotted w/fingers about 6" off chest)

DB Inc Press: 80x10, 100x8, 120x1 (spent), 100x7, 90x7

Inc. Cable Flyes: 30x11 (per side), 32.5x10, 25x10 !Surprisingly tough!

Asst. Dips: BW-10 x 7, BW-25 x8, x7, x7, x5, BW-40 x8, x8

Started another cycle of 5/3/1-ish training for bench. After benching and the “BBB 5x10” assist, I was apparrently fatigued. The 120’s didn’t want to go up. So, got in some reps. Dips are coming along slowly adn shoulder feels good, so just went for reps there as well.

Overall, felt great tonight. Good session, minimal shoulder impact.

FF-- there’s no showing off when a guy in a plaid skirt lifts way more than you! I’m humbled in this forum for sure!!! Freakin’ MMeat warms up with way more than my maxes!

Great Work SD! And good progress pic. Looking thick![/quote]

my only concern with the pic is the lack of body hair. are you breaking out the lady shaver or are you one of the lucky ones that doesn’t look like the missing link?

i swear the older i get the less places i can find that doesn’t have hair growing on it. one of these days i want to run through the woods naked to see if i could scare some locals into believing that sasquach is real. [/quote]

Wait, that’s part of aging? Damn. I was hoping all the ear and back hair was a sign of increased test production. :slight_smile:

Awesome PR SD. Your bench has exploded! Great, great work.
Wanna throw a dog a bone? Apparently I’m not doing it right :slight_smile:

SD, great work. Is it as cold up there as it is in NH? Where’s this global warming we were promised??

When I was a kid, we just called it “weather.”

i really think we are heading towards another ice age.

my reasoning is that i’m progessively getting hairier thus evolving at a higher rate than many. I’m just getting ready for colder temps.

Meat, you’re “Pre-evolving”, dude! You’re always one step ahead of the game-- and you’re strong enough to wrestle down the Wooly Mammoth when they thaw out… wait, it’s getting cooler, so they’re fucked…

You might have to change your screen name to “MammothMeat”… uh, … nevermind.

my wife already calls me that. actually she’s been calling me that ever since we went “all the way”.

i think i’m DEEE-evolving. pretty soon i won’t have to wear a hat because my brow bone will totally shelter my eyes from the sun.

Had a lot of rest between exercises because I was playing coach to a few guys. One guy I’m benching and squatting with, tall kid but he’s doing well. Another ‘kid’ early 20’s wants to really step up his game, so I was helping him with form and such. The third kid (17 or 18) is nice enough but he really only cares about how much weight is on the bar. He squats with a foot width like his feet are in stirrups and pretty much good mornings the weight up (max = 225). He asks me to critique and give pointers but has an excuse for every single thing. I suggested going lighter until he gets his form down-- you’d have thought I kicked him in the nuts!

I enjoy helping people in the gym and I’ve noticed as my weights have gone up (and my bodyweight/size as well), I get more people asking for ‘tips’ and ‘pointers’ and ‘critiques’ and ‘what supplements do I use’ (LMAO!)…

It’s fun.

What you have achieved has garnered respect…as well it should. 350x10 is great!

Has anyone asked you if you are on roids yet? Every dadgum doc I go see asks me that. My answer is always the same…do you think I would be this damned small if I was on roids?

Thanks LS!

Yeah, I’ve gotten that. Stock answers: “Not Yet!” or “Only what’s in the beef!” or “FUCK YOU!” (just kidding about that one)…

I wish folks would ask me that. It would mean I’m getting somewhere…

Yeah, but you’re actually strong. I’m just fat, err, I mean ‘fluffy’.
